    This just makes sense. Probably a lot of history to show that foster kids go downhill once they age out. Giving them a path, via paid for college, to transition into stable adulthood should help a lot.

    This could encourage people to foster too. One concern folks might have is they could afford to care for them but not help them with things like this.
